Spotlight on a Supporter

PWJC supporters come from every corner of the community, and we're thrilled to spotlight a local high school junior. After hearing about how Covid-19 was affecting victims of domestic violence and causing food insecurity for so many in Westchester County, Kate put her ingenuity and skills to work. As a certified Life Guard she was able to offer swimming lessons to children in her town throughout the summer. Kate's efforts resulted in generous donations to both PWJC and Feeding Westchester. Kate heard of PWJC through her mom and her school's "gender equality club." She was inspired to raise funds after hearing news stories and learning about the work of both organizations. Being appreciative of all that she has, and knowing that it's important to benefit others,” Kate was able to raise funds by teaching kids to swim over the summer.

In fact, she worked with twelve families, and she was able to teach children aged 3-11 about water safety, working towards another personal goal of hers – to prevent drowning.    Kate generously donated half of what she raised to PWJC and half to Feeding Westchester. Even though it was a lot of work, next summer, Kate plans to continue her lessons and raising money for causes she feels strongly about. Kate would also like to inspire her peers to do the same: “I was able to give back to my community and people and to give to charities, able to give back on both sides and still enjoy it. If interested, I encourage it. It might feel like a lot of work and scheduling but in the end, you feel great about what you did.”   We are so grateful to Kate for her wonderful work and generosity!
